Yakub Kolas Drama Theatre in Vitebsk is one of the best theatres in Belarus, which can impress with not only a great repertoire and a fine cast, but also interesting architectural layout and advantageous location. Built on the territory of the Upper Castle (where, actually, the city began to be developed), it is part of the historic city center, which offers beautiful views of the Western Dvina River and many attractions of Vitebsk.
